Supplementary: #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesShaneGoldmacher, #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesMaggieHaberman and #NewspaperUSBrdshtNewYorkTimesMichaelGold "Donald J. Trump's closing rally at Madison Square Garden on the second to last Sunday before the election was a release of rage at a political and legal system that impeached, indicted and convicted him, a vivid and at times racist display of the dark energy animating the MAGA movement.
A comic kicked off the rally by dismissing Puerto Rico as a 'floating island of garbage,' then mocked Hispanics as failing to use birth control, Jews as cheap and Palestinians as rock-throwers, and called out a Black man in the audience with a reference to watermelon.
Another speaker likened Vice President Kamala Harris to a prostitute with 'pimp handlers.' A third called her 'the Antichrist.' And the former Fox News host Tucker Carlson mocked Ms. Harris -- the daughter of an Indian mother and a Jamaican father -- with a made-up ethnicity, saying she was vying to become 'the first Samoan-Malaysian, low IQ former California prosecutor ever to be elected president.'
By the time the former president himself took the stage, an event billed as delivering the closing message of his campaign, with nine days left in a tossup race, had instead become a carnival of grievances, misogyny and racism." https://www.nytimes.com/2024/10/27/us/trump-msg-rally.html And https://www.theguardian.com/us-news/2024/oct/27/trump-madison-square-garden-rally #2024_TrumpMadisonSquareGardenRally

"ChatGPT must be decolonized because the data was selected by 'white men from the USA'. Is @BarbaraBleisch aware that without the technology of 'white men from the USA' their show could not be recorded, edited or broadcast? woke" #TechArtificialIntelligenceAIGenerativeChatBotChatGPT #PhenomnColonialismDe
Addendum: this tweet assumes that the engineering and operation of such technology is the sole purview of 'white men from the USA' i.e. #PoliticsNationalismAmerican. In doing so, it misunderstands (or ignores) #IRLScholarBarbaraBleisch's central thesis about algorithmic AI bias. As this Lexalytics article explains it: "There are two types of bias in AI. One is algorithmic AI bias or 'data bias,' where algorithms are trained using biased data. The other kind of bias in AI is societal AI bias. That's where our assumptions and norms as a society cause us to have blind spots or certain expectations in our thinking. Societal bias significantly influences algorithmic AI bias" https://www.lexalytics.com/blog/bias-in-ai-machine-learning/ Significantly, the idea that technology is not neutral / has a bias represents a cultural understanding of technology i.e. because AI is a cultural product, it necessarily #TheoryOfAffordances.ords bias. This perspective sits in contrast with the tweet's #TheoryInstrumentalism perspective, which imagines that technology is able to be removed from its socio-cultural context (and therefore, avoid bias). Additionally, the response's #TheoryAffectiveResponseAnxiety points to #TheoryVictimhoodWhiteThymos

Supplementary: #EDUSELundsUniversitetMartinWolgast, #EDUSELundsUniversitetSimaWolgast: "it should also be noted that the term 'race' in the present study is understood as the result of socially embedded processes of racialization (Miles 1993). In Sweden, where the present study was conducted, the concept of 'race' however is very rarely used and often seen as controversial in Swedish public discourse. In fact, with reference to the history of racial biology and eugenics, the concept of race is officially avoided and discarded (SOU 2015: 103). Instead, concepts like 'migrants,' 'migrant background' or 'ethnicity' are used as proxies for race in Swedish public discourse (Bredström & Mulinari 2022; Mattsson 2005). Despite this, these proxy terms are closely tied to an implicit notion of 'race,' and 'Swedishness' is intimately tied to racialized 'whiteness' (Hübinette & Lundström 2014; Mattsson 2005; Neergaard & Mulinari 2017)." https://journal-njmr.org/articles/10.33134/njmr.572 #TheoryProxyDiscourses #MetaphorPurityRace #ToponymEuropeNordicScandinaviaSweden

Supplementary: "Oikeiôsis, which can be translated as 'appropriation', is the idea that, in common with other animals, as we grow in awareness, we extend our concept of 'self' to include first our care-givers, and then other beings similar to us. We appropriate them into our sense of self and begin to have concern for them. The Stoics' ethical application of this insight is that we should increase the extent of our Oikeiôsis. The aim is to reduce, as far as is practicable, the gap between the concern that we show for 'self' and the concern that we show for the various categories of 'other'.
Oikeiôsis was represented by Hierocles as a series of concentric circles, often now referred to as the Circles of Concern, with the Mind/Self at the centre, and the series of outer circles containing categories of people at increasing distance from the self. Hierocles' idea is that we should strive to draw each circle closer to the centre, treating members of a given circle like members of the immediate inward circle. For example, one should treat parents like one's own body, and treat uncles and aunts like parents, and so on. By drawing the circles towards the centre, we aim to increase the concern that we show for all of humankind.
The idea is not, however, to treat everybody the same. People are still in the relative circles. This is a key distinction drawn by Hierocles. We should, though, treat the members of each circle better than would otherwise be the case. We ought to treat others as we would wish to be treated in their position, in accordance with the four Stoic virtues (Wisdom, Courage, Temperance, Justice). In this way, we can deal justly with anybody because he/she is in at least the outer circle, a member of the human race." https://modernstoicism.com/oikeiosis-reimagined-the-circle-of-compassion-by-ray-pilling/ #IRLPhilosopherHierocles #TheoryPhilosophyStoicismOikeiosisCirclesOfConcern #TheorySociologySocialRelationshipsGemeinschaft ? #BehaviourEmpathy

"The present research suggests they reflect core psychological differences such that liberals express compassion toward less structured and more encompassing entities (i.e., universalism), whereas conservatives express compassion toward more well-defined and less encompassing entities (i.e., parochialism)." https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6763434/

Addendum: this appears to be an edited/repurposed version of #CaricaturistKevinCarden's 'Father reads to children while holding shield' illustration https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-reads-to-children-while-holding-shield/412695814 Metaphorically, Carden's original talks about the idea of fathers (parents) shielding (protecting) their children from harm. Significantly, the shield protects from a generalised/non-specific threat not the overt #OtheringHateHomophobia.ic re-inscription shown here. The theme of 'protection/liberation' is clearly something Carden finds interesting - as is evident in other examples of his work https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-holds-up-shield/253391891 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/father-protecting-his-child/278610451 and https://stock.adobe.com/uk/images/mother-and-son-under-umbrella/490793637 His illustrations tend to offer up exaggerated scenarios rendered in a 'fantasy art' style, which seem to be influenced by traditions of Christian imagery/metaphorization. Perhaps, the combination of visual style, sentiment and ideology made the image more accessible/amenable to those who produced the reedited version - I'm thinking specifically of its somewhat #CharacterisationSentimentality? #PhenomnRoleFamilyFather

Supplementary: In this fallacy one argues, 'I feel it, so it must be true. My feelings are valid, so you have no right to criticize what I say or do, or how I say or do it.' This latter is also a fallacy of stasis, confusing a respectful and reasoned response or refutation with personal invalidation, disrespect, prejudice, bigotry, sexism, homophobia or hostility. ...
'Alternate Facts' work to 'put you off balance,' 'control the story,' and 'make you think you're crazy,' and she notes that 'presenting alternate facts is the hallmark of untrustworthy people.'
